A4The invention lrelates in general to head gear and more particularly to hair nets.

A' A11 object of the invention is to provide a hair net which is substantially invisible, particularly at the point which crosses thevforehead.

Another object of the invention is to proi-` vide a hair net having a binding band around a part of the periphery of the ynet 11.0 but not at the part of the hair net which crosses the forehead.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hairnet which is strong, durable and lclose-fitting, but not tight-fitting.

Other objects will be apparentv from `the following description and claims when considered with the' accompanying drawings in which i c Fig. 1 represents a blank or` developed view of a complete hair net which is exaggerated or, distorted to bring the entire net into ,the plane of the paper;

Fig. 2 is a front view of folded flat; C Y Y Fig. 3 is a side view ofa completed` net jfolded flat; and f Y Fig. 4 is a detailillustrating the manner of making the net.

` In the following a completed net description and tin i the claims arts will' be identified by specific names or convenience, lbut they are intendedtobe asgeneric in their application to similar parts as the artfwill permit. Like reference characters denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings.

In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, a practical commercial embodimentof the invention is for purposes of disclosure, it will be understood that the structure may be modified in various respects without departure from the broad spirit and scope ofthe invention as hereinafter defined and claimed. y

Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to Figs. 1 and 4, the net is made from a blank which comprises a body 10 of larger mesh and a banding 11 of smaller mesh. The front edge of the net indicated by 12 has no band but the band 11 is secured shown, but as such illustration is primarily"` u A lined by the heavy line 1nA Fig.` 1 and' the atvthe sides 13, bevel edges 14 and back side 15., v

Apreferred'way of making the net is to lfirst form the vbody 10 from a strand of human hair o-r other suitable material. The strand is indicated by 16 in Fig. 4 and is first laid out in half meshes or Vs tov form the halfrow A. The lengths of hair or other strand mater-ial are knotted together asat 17. After the first half-row A is laid out, say from right `to left, the second half-row B of half meshes is formed, theV strand being knotted vat the points 18, as indicated, to formfull meshes. After the half-row B is completed from left to right, the half-row C is formed from right to left, being knotted to the row B by knots. indicated 'by 19. The end mesh rindicated by 2() preferably is not formed until after the body V1() is completed whenvthey Vare added for a'purpose hereinafter de-f scribed; Thus the entire body ofthe net is made by running the rows back and forth, as

above described, as will be understood by those Vskilled in the art.

The widthrof the front edge 12 of the net body continues vuniformly toward the back fora predetermined number of rows, forrning the sides 13. Then the number of mesh inthe horizontal rows Vdrops uniformly to form the bevel edges 14 until the number of predetermined meshes is reached which forms the back edge' 15. The number of meshes and the exact length of the sides 12, 13, 14

-and 15 are determined by the `shape of the finished net. i In the present net disclosed Vfor purposes of illustration only, the front rowhas 20 complete meshes,` exclusive of the end meshes 20andthe back row at 15 has 8 complete meshes. lThe body of the net is ,out-

number of mesh inthe horizontal row-s is indicatedby `the numbers in circles. The

rows of lesser meshes Yare made catching two meshes of they precedingupper row by the lower row at two points such as at 40 near Athe ends of the rows.

The'banding 11 extends from one end mesh 201 around the sides 13, 14,` and 15, to the other 'end mesh 20, and is :formed in a similar way to the vrows Vof the body, except that the meshes are smaller and but 3 rows of half meshes are provided in this particular case, and the rows follow the perimeter of the body l0. If desired, when the banding l'l is added to the body l0, the perimeterof the net is contracted to a certain extent. After the meshes are made, the net is fashioned to the shape shown in Figs. 2 and 8 so that when placed over the hair of the head, vit will closely yet comfortably hold the hair in place. The net becomes bonnet shaped as indicated in F ig. 3 and the shape is such that the binding eifect on the head is uniform throughout the entire area of the net and substantially no greater at the edge of the net than at points in the body. Y y t Y Thus a hair net has been provided which is neat in appearance, strong and comparatively easy to make. The provision of the extra end meshes 20 provides neat finishing ends for the banding of small meshes. The small meshes are used to hug theback of the head and hair above the nape of the neck and the bandless front edge l2 rests on the forehead at the hair line, and having no band at this point provides a maximum degree of invisibility, which is of course very desirable.

It will be understood that the hair net above described is superior vto the hair nets now in common use, in which theba-nding meshes extend all the Way around the net. In the hair nets heretofore known the banding is quite noticeable at the front of the `net and also has a tendency to make the cap quite baggy, which is undesirable with present coiffure styles, detracting from the neat and trim results expected by the user. j

lhile certain novel features of the invention have been shown anddescnibed and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated may be made by those skilledl in the art without departing' from the spirit of the invention.

lVhat is claimed is: t Y

l. A hair net comprising a body portion of relatively large meshes of uniform size and a perimetral band of smaller meshes extending partly around the perimeter of the body portion, said band comprising one or more rows, the unbanded portion of the perimeter presenting the large body meshes only, thereby making this portion of the net of great invisibility and relieving the strain of the banding.

2. A hair knet comprising abody made up of a. plurality of meshes, a band of small banding meshes on a part only of the perimeter of the body, thereby lto form a small lcap to envelop the hair of the user.

3. A cap-shaped hair net comprising a body having its front edge composed of large said front edge, the row at said front edge having an extra body mesh on each end to provide ends for the banding meshes Whereby the small banding meshes are invisible from the front when the net is worn.

4. A hair net comprising body meshes and banding meshes extending around part of the body meshes only, therebyv to form. a cap 1which is self-conforming to the shape of the lead.

5. A hair net-comprising a series of body meshes having an extra end mesh at each end of the front row thereof and smaller banding meshes extending around the net from one said extra mesh to the other, thereby leaving ,the front row freefof banding meshes.

6. A hair net'comprisin'g ya six sidedblLllk, one side being they front side and ybeing considerably longer than any .0f the other sides.

7. A hair net comprisi-ng a tbody portion having a straight edge at the front, right and left side edges extendingback at right angles lfrom ,the `front edge, right and left bevel edges converging from ,thefback endscf said side edges, and a back edge parallel to said front edge connecting the backends of said bevel edges, said` body comprising large meshes running in rows parallel to saidback and front edges, an extraimesh in the front row at each end thereof, avvbanding comprising a series of rows fof smallermeshes running from one said vextra mesh around said side, bevel and vback edges to the other .extra vmesh, said band adapted to contract to ,hold the net tight about the headsaid front'edge being free of banding meshes. n

8. A' hair netfcomprising a body `portion having a front ,edge side and 4back edges c onnecting said front edge, said body comprising large meshes ruiming in 7rows parallel to said back and front edges, an extramesh in .the Yfront roW ats eachend thereof, aban'ding comprising a series of krovvs of smaller meshes running from an vextra meshfaround said side, bevel andback edges to the vother extra'mesh, said band adapted to contract to hold the net tight about the head, said .front edge being free lof banding'meshes.
